Stealth Precision Firearms got its start fairly recently, in 2015. A group of longtime avid shooters and hunters who were also engineers looked around and figured that they could make precision rifles just as good, or better, for less than the competition. That story isn’t a new one, but unfortunately, in the firearms industry, it’s […]

There are very few inventions, if any, that have had as much affect on the development of America as the 1851 Colt Navy Percussion Revolver. It was America’s first powerful, reliable, everyday carry firearm. Its genius inspired countless copies, and its design would endure not only beyond black powder, but well into the cartridge revolver […]

Everybody shoots better when they have something soft to rest their rifle on. Competitive shooters bring all sorts of bags to the range, and hunters have been using rests — purpose-built and improvised — for centuries. Shadow Tech, the folks who make the great PIG Saddle and tripod combo I reviewed earlier this year, have […]

Almost two years ago I reviewed the Smith & Wesson M&P45 Shield and came away impressed by the little .45 auto concealed carry pistol. Smith also offers a tricked out version of the same gun from their Performance Center, with a few extras. Some of those extras are welcome additions to an already great EDC pistol. […]

Sweet baby Jesus this gun is pretty. Taylor’s & Company has imported a limited run of nickel-plated Smith & Wesson Model 3 Schofield break-top revolvers. The Schofield is one of the iconic guns of the west, with a rich history. It would be hard to do such a storied horseman’s sidearm justice, but in every […]

My dream rifle, the “Last Rifle I’ll Ever Need” is almost complete. I just got these photos of the Ruger No. 1 and it looks amazing. Owen Armstrong of Rifles Refined did an amazing job on the custom stock set. The hand carved black walnut stocks feature hand cut stippling and decorative lines, as well as […]

A little over a year ago I asked TTAG for a decent, low cost scope to use for rifle reviews. I’d gotten pretty tired of pulling scopes off of my own rifles for one review after the next every week. TTAG furnished me with a new Atibal Nomad 3-12 Second Focal Plane rifle scope. That low cost […]

I’ve been a big fan of the Savage Model 110 for a long time. It’s been around for over 60 years and I’ve been recommending it for decades. They’ve always been accurate rifles that give the shooter a lot of rifle for their buck, especially when it comes to accuracy. With the new Savage Model […]

When it comes to modularity and the ease of customization, no rifle on the market beats the AR platform. There’s a reason why it’s referred to as “the Barbie doll for grownups.” That flexibility has made it the dominant platform for a semi-automatic rifle in the US. When done well, it can also be accurate, […]

It’s pretty impressive how far budget optics have come. For the first in a series of budget optic reviews, I put the Primary Arms 4-14X40 ACSS DMR/HUD riflescope through its paces. The Chinese-made manufacturer has a cult following of loyal customers and as this scope proved, there are a lot of good reasons for that. […]

I don’t like the way this gun looks. I don’t like the way this gun feels. But man, I sure do like the way the Beretta PX-4 Storm shoots. Like a lot of folks, and every single action movie ever, I dig the Beretta 92 series. And like every soldier, I hated it when it […]

Without a doubt, the easiest hunts I’ve had were on public land. In Pennsylvania, I sat in a tree stand in a wooded area between a series of farms. A local friend of mine told me the strategy: “Just be quiet and everyone else making all their racket will drive the deer right to you.” And […]
